Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 17, 2014, Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc., or the Company, issued a press release announcing that it has recently been informed by the principal investigator in the Russian regenerated trachea transplant studies in which it is taking part that one of the patients in that study has recently passed away. The Company has not been informed of the cause of death. The patient survived more than two years from the initial regenerated trachea transplant surgery that took place in 2012. Prior to that surgery, the patient had suffered several instances of life threatening respiratory failure and infections. The patient was indicated for the initial transplant surgery because there was both a progression of the respiratory failure and traditional tracheal surgery was impossible. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
